great looking car. iv never seen the ZHP with that interior or with that steering wheel. didnt all ZHPs come with the alcantara wheel?

the M-sports should have gotten the same performance treatment that the ZHP did. what a shame.

Joey, I'm not sure if you could order the leather steering wheel from the get go. I know that the alcantara wheels wore prematurely and BMW was giving people the option to replace them, free of charge, with the leather wheel. Many people jumped at the opportunity.

I just looked at the sticker that came with the car. It shows Alcantara steering wheel. Previous owner likely swapped it out for leather.

hmmmmmm. i never knew that. with that im surprised they went back and put an alcantara wheel on the E46 M3 ZCP. AN then released the performance wheels.

from what i understand, alcantara is manufactured in italy, and Gulf Fabrics in Miami is the sole Importer of the material for the United States. I quickly looked at ZCPs and ZHPs on Ebay. alcantara wheels in both look to be in similar condition. i doubt they changed it back in italy.

Then your guess is as good as mine as to why they kept making that wheel.
